This is a tough decision. I can either take a 30%-ish combined attack on Berlin or suffer a 70% attack on Moscow. Need to think some about this.

Americans regular : 0.00 Russians regular : -12.83 Germans regular : -6.00 British regular : -0.67 Russians AA : 0.50I understand the dice look like hell for the Russians - and they aren't good - but the battle went +3.73 pieces in favor of the German player (assuming a German win). Take surviving units from the battle (19) and minus "units left if attacker won" (15.27) from the battle calculator to arrive at this result (+3.73 assuming a German win).
Good game - it seems EXTREMELY tough on allies once the right German strategy is apparent. Thanks for demonstrating that by the way. Unbelievably, the "attack everywhere" hadn't occurred to any of us yet. I was not attacking at all and trying strafes and then trying to attack just one territory - but now it seems obvious. I also really like your fighters in Norway - splitting defense of Moscow with attack on Germany. I've already stolen that idea as well.
Well done Victor - very nice gamesmanship and problem solving.
-
It's funny because it was probably intended by the developers that Germany attacks heavily in the East Front on turn 1. It is, after all, Operation Barbarossa.
-
Thank you, and good game! This game is indeed extremely tough as the Allies. The right balance between transports and fighters is still a question mark for me. And also on the EF the Russians need to kill as many German units as possible while keeping their own losses to a minimum, something that is quite tricky and oftentimes involves risky attacks. In any case, I was surprised to see that even such a massive early Allied advantage wasn't enough to stop the Germans. I feel like in this particular situation, the Allies CAN win, although I am not sure how. I challenge you to take the Allies with this G1 as a starting point, perhaps you can beat it.
That German strategy is just a product of trying some stuff out and then finetuning. After the Med transport bid didn't work out, I tried an all-out attack on the EF, which turned out to be pretty effective. Over the course of several games, I made small improvements to the strategy based on those games (for example now I don't make attacks in Leningrad, Vyborg, one infantry takes Gibraltar, and now I don't attack the US fleet anymore, thanks to your comment, ha!). The games I have played on these forums have been very helpful.
Again, thanks for playing. Over the years I have learned a lot from playing against you. I really appreciate these games
Small question, you said there were 19 surviving German units, but I see 19 German tanks and 2 fighters. Shouldn't the fighters be included?
-
@victoryfirst you are 100% right about the fighters. That was a very bad battle for the poor Allies in the end...but still favored the Germans shockingly.
I think your idea is a good one. Let me try something a little different than what you did with the Allies and see if there is a different final turn result (I want to see if I can get the percentages more in favor for the Allies than you did in our game). It will be a good learning experience. I will start with this configuration on R1. Should have the first turn out tonight.
